Can an NCOER mention current or past enrollment in the ASAP program?

The correct response to whether an NCOER can mention current or past enrollment in the ASAP program is that it should not be included. The Army Substance Abuse Program (ASAP) is designed to assist soldiers in addressing substance abuse issues, and its confidentiality is a key principle. Including details about a soldier's enrollment in the ASAP program within an NCOER could violate privacy regulations and undermine the trust in this recovery-oriented program.

The intent behind this policy is to protect the soldier's privacy and ensure that rehabilitation does not negatively impact their evaluations. This means that unless there's a very specific context where it’s directly relevant to their performance and the soldier has consented to this disclosure, it should not be mentioned in the NCOER.

In contrast, other options may suggest varying degrees of approval or relevance, but the overarching guideline is to respect the confidentiality of ASAP participation, which supports the decision that it should not be noted in an NCOER.
